Into the Beartooth - Goat hunt in HD 316

[geetar]

Me? A lot I don't think I'll ever get there, nor am I trying. That's a true story though I know a guy that only needs one more. His lists of wild off the wall accomplishments are pretty cool. Very unique.

Awesome! My brother has joked about doing a squirrel slam.

How's the story coming, bud? @Watt21

Here already shared it...... not much of a story. Maybe we'll have to write our own version this year.....

 

[LopeHunter]

Guess we'll never get the full story...... I even nominated him to finally finish a 316 adventure. Maybe 2020 will hold a full story

Well, I do story write ups and I drew the only NR tag for 2020 in 316-20. Booya. I will write up something even if my almost 60 year old, pastry loving ample rear end never makes it beyond the parking lot. Harvest is down in the 60% range so might be tag soup deal but I am told 316 is some of the most impressive mountain scenery in the West.

If looking to read a 2019 elk recap then you are in luck.

Making this easy. I linked in another thread to my 2019 NV elk hunt. Had a few comments this weekend that original post had not been seen last autumn as is a busy time for many of us. Well, many of us are not so busy this month so here is the link if are looking to see some pics and read a...

Bull down in Jarbidge NV

I drew one of the 10 or so non-resident early September muzzleloader bull tags for the zone that includes the Jarbidge Wilderness area. I had hunted there in 2012 on an early November mule deer buck tag. The Jarbidge is a special place and while I could hunt the tag solo without ever stepping...

MT pronghorn 2018

My in-laws grew up around Helena, MT, then moved to the West Coast after his Korean War service. Way back in 1987, I met my future father-in-law, Bob, and was the first hunter his Los Angeles daughter had dated so he was thrilled. Bob had grown up hunting so suggested we go on an elk hunt in...

Drew bull moose Idaho! 69-2

Will be my first moose hunt. Need to drive over from WA on some scouting trips. Should be a fantastic adventure. Harvest is near 100% so even a blind squirrel like me might find a nut as a rookie moose chaser!

Congrats to you looking forward to hearing about it! If I come across anything I'll keep you in mind. I'd actually try and explore more of the district then the usual Cooke hunt if I had the tag........

Well I left you all in suspense for far too long as I was entirely inactive here for 1.5+ years following the hunt. Feel bad about that but a few life circumstances stacked up and bogged me down. Feels good to be back now and perhaps I can provide a story which will satiate our off season conversational desires.

 

[MooseCaboose]

We set out a plan. I talked with many advisors, some here on the platform, and those outside. It became clear to me I wanted to target the area immediately north of Cooke City sweeping west above Yellowstone National ParK. At the time of the hunt, I was enrolled in educational studies outside the greatest state in the union, which, logistically, limited my early scouting ability. So I enlisted the help of my two brothers to find the game which we sought. Together we developed an early scouting plan whereby they would head down well-ahead of the season to, hopefully, find some goats, or, at a minimum, rule out the 'front country' such that we could pack into the deeper recesses.

Well played on building suspense.

Nothing like lighting up an old thread. But Im game, love to read another write up while we all wait for tags to be drawn this year

Listen @Watt21 you go MIA for 18 months and then show up here at 1:00am and now appear to be leaving us hanging again? This is getting a bit out of hand!

I love it. So much more complex than the typical troll.

And the gall to have committed to taking up another's thread to start! Bravo.

 

[trb]

I'm taking the fact that there's no giant lap hogs on display as a win

 

[Cheesehead]

Come on, man, @Watt21.
Seriously though looking forward to the story.

 

[520 Road Sow]

He got his full body mount back faster than he can type the story of the opening day harvest from 2019.

Spoiler alert

 

[Stone_Ice_1]

Oh man, guess I better check back in 18 months. Will set my alarm for 1 AM on 10/9/2022 for part 2.

 

[MTGomer]

Take it easy, boys. He’s got 5 more years of his 7 year wait to go.

Well - I am new to this as well, but just found out today I drew this tag! Don’t know if I should post updates on this thread or a new one. Nervous to commit though, the last two guys that drew it left y’all hanging a bit!

Welcome and congrats on the goat tag.

No requirement to commit, but if you do, please complete the story. Other wise we would just figure that you got eaten by a grizz or fell off a cliff.

Good Luck

please start your own thread once you start you adventure...using this thread would be like starting half way through someone else's book
